Fr.1255 - Missing Its Bronze from Both Sides: One of Two Known

Fr. 1255 Milton 3R10.6g 10¢ Third Issue Extremely Fine. From
our January 1997 offering of the Milt Friedberg Collection where it
was described, "This note is missing its bronze surcharges on both
the face and back. At the time the Encyclopedia was published, only
a single piece was thought to exist, the presumption being that the
Limpert Sale note and the 1958 ANA Sale note were the same piece.
It turns out that this piece, which was in the collection of
Jackson Storm, was one of those two pieces. It's interesting to
note that the back centering on both of the known pieces is
unusually low and left, making it an extreme likelihood that they
are both survivors from a single sheet. In any event, this
incredible piece is one of only two known. It will likely be the
centerpiece of any collection of Fractional Errors." Acquired by
Tom O'Mara as Lot 845 from CAA's 1/97 Sale. Previously in the
collection of Jackson Storm, who acquired the note from this
cataloger in June of 1981.
